RUSSIANS UNLIKELY TO
SET THE WORLD AFIRE
AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Says RICHARD KASISCHKE
Berlin, Sept. 6.
It seems unlikely that the Russians will set the world afire when they join Olympic competition next year at Helsinki anless they come up with stronger teams than they presented at the World Youth and Student Games here in August.
In track and field, the Soviet's best bets appear to be their women --
South Africans especially the muscular ones in the Shot Put and Javelin Throw.

By NIGEL GEE
The choice of the outstanding personality in French racing is automatic. After 30 years of diligent and scientific work Marcel Boussac stands in a position which no owner-breeder in the world can challenge. In the story of French success on the Turf, the longest chapter must be his.
i
His superiority is somewhat analogous to the position in which the Aga Khan found himself after his successes in the thirties but unlike the Aga Khan who dis persed the cream of his stallions abroad, M. Boussac guards jealously what he has accrued so patiently.
His first classic success was in Adarga'is won the French
